Parking Basics


 

 

Welcome to UTEP, home of the Miners!  Parking can be a challenge at UTEP.  This page provides a short guide to the parking system on campus.  Reading this page should help to reduce your frustration and avoid citations.

Even though this page should be helpful, the only way to become completely informed of the campus parking rules is to read the Parking Regulations
.

The key to avoiding parking tickets at UTEP is to know the rules.

   
     

Parking on Campus 

 


 

 

 


Vehicles with the following permit types: (Classes S, P, or R), motorcycle (P), and Miner Village (M) must park in their respective lots and are prohibited from driving past the guard kiosks onto the main campus from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

As on most college campuses, the best way to get around once you have parked is to walk, bike, or ride a campus shuttle.

   
     

Parking Permits 



All vehicles that are parked on campus must display a valid UTEP parking permit. Permits must be displayed properly on the vehicle according to the instructions on the permit.  Visitors are directed to park in one of three designated parking areas.

Permit holders parking vehicles on campus that are not registered to a permit must register the vehicle either on-line or at the Parking and Transportation Services office in the Academic Services Building Room 122 before parking.

   
     

Parking Lots and Signage 



All parking lots show signs indicating the type of permits allowed and hours of restriction. Most restrictions are in effect weekdays from 7:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. although some areas are "Reserved At All Times."

Posted signs, whether permanent or temporary, must be obeyed at all times. Signs take precedence over painted curbs, pavement markings, and designations shown on any UTEP map.

Lot locations can be viewed on this map.

   
     

Citations 



If you receive a parking ticket, either schedule an appeal of the ticket within eighteen (18) calendar days of the ticket issue date or pay the ticket online, by mail, or in person.

Tickets are billed first to the permit holder and then to the vehicle's registered owner if no permit is displayed.  Permit holders are responsible for all tickets issued to their permit, regardless of vehicle ownership.

If you have unpaid ticket charges, you will not be able to purchase a parking permit.  Students with unpaid ticket charges may be barred from registering for classes and from receiving their diplomas or official transcripts.  Your vehicle may be towed and impounded until all unpaid ticket charges are paid in full.

   
     

Booting & Towing



Vehicles with 5 or more citations will be booted.  If you are booted please consult the Booting Information page.

If your vehicle is towed, contact the Campus Police (915-747-5611) for information on retrieving your vehicle.
